Mike Pieciak was inaugurated as Vermont’s 31st State treasurer in January 2023. During his term, Pieciak has focused on economic and financial equity. Pieciak successfully championed the passage of “Vermont Saves” – a publicly administered retirement program for the +80,000 Vermonters who currently lack access to a retirement plan through their employer. Mike also expanded the “10% in Vermont” program and made the development of new housing a top priority. In September 2023, his office announced $55.5 million in low interest housing loans that is expected to leverage an estimated $340 million in additional capital to support the construction of over 1,100 housing units in Vermont. Pieciak previously served six years as the commissioner of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation (DFR) where he was first appointed by Governor Peter Shumlin in 2016 and reappointed by Governor Phil Scott in 2017. During the pandemic, Pieciak served on the COVID-19 pandemic response team.
